Unexpectedly, she ultimately chose this path, in such a decisive way of jumping from a building! She was so young, in the prime of her life, and her life had ended just like that! How could he explain this to her uncle and aunt? He gave a bitter smile.
The phone rang, showing Song Yunhua’s number. Yun Zhi glanced at Chu E, who was still immersed in grief, hesitated, and walked out to the living room to answer the call: “Yunhua!”
“How is Lei Lei?” Song Yunhua asked. Although she rarely had contact with Yun Lei, she was still concerned.
Yun Zhi sighed. When he left, he only told her that Lei Lei had some issues and he was going to check. He was silent for a few seconds before painfully saying, “Yunhua, Lei Lei is gone!”
“Gone? Where?” Song Yunhua was confused.
Yun Zhi remained silent. Song Yunhua, sensing his tone, suddenly realized, “You mean, Lei Lei has… passed away?”
Yun Zhi said softly, “Yes! She committed suicide by jumping from a building three days ago!”
Song Yunhua gasped, “I’ll come early tomorrow…”
“Yunhua,” he called urgently, then paused, “Don’t tell anyone else!”
Song Yunhua understood immediately, “Don’t worry!” and hung up.
“Is it tomorrow?” A ghostly voice suddenly spoke behind him.
When leaving the cemetery, Chu E felt a hollow emptiness in her heart, standing blankly on the street, not knowing where to go. This was her third time facing death directly. She felt abandoned. As her closest relatives and friends left her one after another, was this a trick of heaven? Or a joke from God?
“Xiao E!”
Gu Yunzhi caught up from behind. She turned back blankly, and seeing her haggard appearance, his heart ached. He said softly, “If you don’t want to return to Beijing for now, you can stay in Lei Lei’s house. When you want to go back, tell me, and I’ll come to handle the house…”
Chu E looked at him emptily, her voice devoid of emotion: “Remembering people through objects, it’s better to sell it early. At 2 PM, I’ll drop the keys at the hotel front desk!”
After saying this, she no longer looked at him, hailed a taxi, and left in a cloud of dust.
